Rank higher
without the agency fees.
A dedicated SEO VA does the hands-on work that moves your rankings, without locking you into a $3,000/month retainer.
What they take off your plate.
Core skills
Who this is for
Businesses paying for an SEO agency but not seeing results. Companies that want to bring SEO in-house but can't justify a $90k local hire. Anyone who knows SEO matters but doesn't have the time to do it themselves. If you've been burnt by agencies that talk a big game but deliver dashboards instead of rankings, an SEO VA is the smarter play. Once briefs are ready, our Content Writer VA can turn them into long-form posts that actually rank.

Why NZ businesses are ditching SEO agencies for an offshore VA
Most SEO agencies charge $2,000 to $5,000 a month. For that, you get a monthly report, a few blog posts, and maybe some "technical recommendations" that never get implemented. The actual hands-on work that moves rankings? It barely happens.
We know because we do this ourselves. Pat, our own Filipino VA at Outshore, handles keyword research, content briefs, on-page optimisation, and link building outreach. The results speak for themselves, and Pat costs a fraction of what an agency charges.
Why the Philippines
SEO is one of the few roles where English proficiency genuinely makes or breaks the work. Bad meta descriptions hurt rankings. Awkward content briefs produce awkward content. Outreach emails written in second-language English get filed as spam. The Philippines is ranked second in Asia on the EF English Proficiency Index, with English as the medium of university instruction, which is why our internal SEO output (maintained by Pat) holds up against agency-grade work for a fraction of the cost. If we trust this approach for our own rankings, we're confident putting it behind yours.
